Colts stun Chiefs with late interception for massive survivor pool upset

Once again, the top survivor pool pick of the week has been knocked out.

The Indianapolis Colts stunned the Kansas City Chiefs with a late interception on Sunday afternoon to pick up the 20-17 win, their first of the season.

The win knocks out 35.3% of Yahoo Sports' survivor pool entries in Week 3, the biggest selection of the week. The Los Angeles Chargers were the second-most popular pick this week with nearly 24% of entries.

After trailing throughout all of the second half, Colts quarterback Matt Ryan found Jelani Woods for a 12-yard touchdown with 24 seconds left in the game to go up three.

Though Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs back down just a few yards from field-goal range, his final pass intended for Juju Smith-Schuster was tipped and then intercepted by Rodney McLeod, sealing the win for Indianapolis. The interception was Mahomes’ first of the season.

About 32% of entries were knocked out early in Week 1 after the Colts tied the Houston Texans and the New York Giants upset the Tennessee Titans.

Mahomes finished throwing 20-of-35 for 262 yards with one touchdown and an interception. His touchdown came at the end of the first quarter when he found Travis Kelce for a 3-yard score. Mahomes was K.C.'s leading rusher, too, with 26 yards on four carries.

Ryan led the Colts throwing 27-of-37 for 222 yards with two touchdowns. He found Woods on their second drive of the day for a 1-yard score, after the Colts recovered a muffed punt.
